A Gift from Lici (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4 Every investnt project he had on hand was a huge undertaking, with millions or even tens of millions of Qian Gold being spent at will. What good were those allowances?
As for The head of household … the Wang family’s rise had been too rapid. Even though the Wang family had been dedicated to nurturing talent over the years and had indeed cultivated a group of capable heads of household, the scale of their head of household was still much smaller than that of the usual Grade Five Prominent Families, and not even comparable to so of the longer-established Rank Six Prominent Families.
There was still a significant shortfall~
Wang Shouzhe was worried about the shortage of manpower; he had no need for those extra quotas and staff.
Better to forget about it~
At the sa ti as the Imperial Household’s wedding procession arrived, at Dingpu Ferry Terminal, the dowry ships that had been docked for many days finally began to transfer the dowry.
These dowry ships were specially made, coated with red lacquer, and looked trendously festive.
Both Little Princesses were of Great Heavenly Proud caliber, and their weddings were of extrely high standard, second only to that of a princess’. Combined with the underlying rivalry between both families, the dowry was naturally extraordinarily generous. The various brocades and assortnt of hairpins and jewelry alone filled several large carts. Transporting them by flying carriage was simply not feasible, so ships were used to deliver them in advance.
These dowry ships had arrived more than ten days ago and were only waiting for the arrival of the wedding Cloud Ray Flying Boat. Then, with gongs and drums, they would jubilantly transfer the dowry into hand-carried sedan chairs to Wang family’s Main Residence.
The lengthy dowry sedan chair procession stretched from the ferry terminal all the way to the plaza in front of the family’s Main Residence. It took nearly two hours to transfer all the dowry, almost filling up the plaza.
Such a scale and quantity of dowry was extrely rare in the entirety of Da Qian, creating a sensation at the ti.
Not only were the witnessing guests trendously shocked, but even the ordinary people watching from afar near the terminal were so astounded that they couldn’t help but go ho and talk about it non-stop to their families.
Soon, news of this event spread swiftly throughout Longzuo County and gradually to the whole of Da Qian.
For the following decades, whenever the nurous Prominent Families and citizens of Longzuo County encountered large-scale marriage events, they couldn’t help but ntion this wedding and the impressive dowry procession, taking pride in it and enjoying the retelling.
After the dowry arrived, it was ti for Wang Anye’s official marriage.
The marriage of the direct heir of a Prominent Family was inevitably accompanied by a set of elaborate rites, the excess of which is redundant to ntion here.
Amidst the gathered guests, Wang Shouzhe and his wife, Wang Zong’an and his wife, and Wang Shizhao and his wife all sat inside the great hall, waiting for Wang Anye and the two Little Princesses to perform the tea ceremony and et-and-greet rites.
Wang Anye, leading the two brides, first paid his respects to Wang Shouzhe and his wife, who were seated in the principal seats facing south.
Although the couple still looked like a young man and a beautiful woman, they were already the Old Ancestors of the family. Their Bloodline alone had produced a multitude of children and grandchildren.
Liu Ruolan was very happy today, her face radiant. Holding the hands of the two brides, she helped them rise after their bows. While speaking, she simultaneously slipped a big red envelope, representing good wishes, into their hands.
“Thank you, great grandma,” Wu Yiluo and Wu Xuening quickly said, bowing in thanks.
“Anye, from today onwards, you are truly an adult,” Wang Shouzhe said with a stern expression, admonishing Wang Anye, “You must take up the responsibility of the family enterprise and also take good care of your own family. Yiluo and Xue Ning are fine girls who possess all the finest qualities of heaven and earth. You must live well with them, bearing the duties of a husband, and eventually, a father.”
“Yes, great grandfather,” Wang Anye said earnestly.
Subsequently, the trio also paid their respects to Wang Zong’an and his wife, as well as to Wang Shizhao and his wife.
As grandparents and parents, they naturally bestowed their blessings and gave their advice to Wang Anye.
After the ceremony,
A traditional banquet began inside the Wang family’s Main Residence.
At that ti,
As a representative of Wang Anye’s maternal family, the Qian Family, the Family Head, Qian Xuehan, presented the couple with elder gifts.
The Qian Family was already renowned for its great wealth, and after so long a collaboration with the Wang family, they had amassed substantial fortune. With two Cultivators of the Shen-tong realm among their ranks, they were preparing to ascend to the Rank Four Prominent Family.
The fact that Wang Anye had married two Little Princesses at once had brought considerable glory to the Qian Family. Thus, their gifting was anything but stingy.
To each Little Princess, they gave a red envelope containing ten million Qian Gold, a testant to the Qian Family’s terrifying financial power.
This naturally caused a huge sensation, even inciting many from the Imperial Household to look upon the Qian Family with great interest.
If it were two million worth of family assets, mbers of the Imperial Household wouldn’t bat an eye. But bringing out a total of twenty million Qian Gold as wedding gifts was sothing else; it indicated that the Qian Family’s liquidity was more than ample.
This family would likely soon beco a Rank Four Prominent Family.
Following this, the Commandery Prince of Longzuo County, Wu Dianshan, and the Prefectural Governor, Taishi Ankang, also gave Wang Anye and his wives elder gifts. They were not as lavish as the Qian Family, but their gifts still amounted to several million Qian Gold.
Then, Wang Yuchang, the Family Head of the Great Qian Wang Clan, also on behalf of the main family branch, presented elder gifts. It was a Divine thod Xuan Yuan Shield Symbol passed down from their ancestors. Upon crushing it, it could activate a Xuan Yuan shield capable of withstanding at least one full-power strike from a Cultivator of the Shen-tong realm, making it an exceptional life-saving item.
Such treasures, ant to be crafted by a Cultivator of the Shen-tong realm on the eve of their death for their descendants to have so form of security and inheritance, were not in plentiful supply even within the Great Qian Wang Clan.
